What customers say

This is a small, quiet, and well-maintained campsite in a peaceful rural location with friendly and accommodating owners. It's ideal for those seeking a natural camping experience, with nearby walking trails and access to Llandegfedd Reservoir. Facilities are basic but kept very clean, including portaloos and a water tap. While some guests found it a little expensive for the limited facilities, many praised the atmosphere and the owners' helpfulness, with frequent mentions of a desire to return.

Bella bell tent

Liked Very spacious bell tent - everything included. I came with my two daughters, and there was two single beds, and a double bed already set up. Opposite was our own allocated gazebo with a gas stove and chairs provided too. We packed quite light due to everything being there already.

Disliked The caravans further down the field were packed with families who were drinking, so they were really loud up until around 22:00. However, this isn’t the campsite or the owners fault. The owners came out on their own accord & it soon quietened down so was a lot more peaceful.

There wasn’t any signal at all - unless you found the right spot to get a little. But, we were camping so our phones wasn’t really needed all that much.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful site. We met the owner Henry who was great. Toilets were clean and the site was well maintained. The only downside for us (but possibly not others) was that most of the tent pitches were on a slight incline.

Liked All was good, exactly as described on the website. Toilets clean, the site well looked after.
The mobile and internet coverage is patchy, but you are in the nature, so there is no need for that.
Lovely owners of the site. Very warm and welcoming. Thank you.

Local attractions

You’re never short of an ancient building in this corner of Wales; start off a day off castle-bagging at Usk (10 minutes’ drive) where medieval ruins border landscaped gardens, or head for Raglan, once a mighty defence castle and now open for self-guided tours. Moated Caerphilly Castle (35 minutes) has a trail of underground passages to explore, and if you haven’t had your fill of history by now, try glorious Tintern Abbey (40 minutes) for a stroll among peaceful ruins. If you’d rather be yomping than mugging up on history, there are plenty of challenging hikes in the Brecon Beacons National Park (15 minutes) or stroll to Symonds Yat Rock in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (40 minutes). The whole area is full of places to get out for a great walk or bike ride, and there's dry slope skiing in Pontypool too. If the kids are behaving, treat them to subterranean mine tours at Big Pit National Coal Museum (20 minutes), and if you all fancy a big city day out, Cardiff (45 minutes) hits the spot with rip-roaring RIB cruises around the bay and international musicals at Wales Millennium Centre.
